Deer Crossing the Art Farm Gibsons, BC, Canada.
RED TRANSECT Red vertical poles set up in a line, East-West oriented. The path it marks will run in the future along the whole farm, marking specific spots. In ecology, a transect is a methodological tool for the study of a territory, a path along which one records and counts occurrences of the phenomenon of study. In urbanism, it refers to the varieties of land use from an urban core to a rural boundary. In the art farm the red markers –an sculptural work with a painter’s touch- points to the aesthetic approach to the study and use of the landscape, and marks spots for contemplation.

WILDERNESS CUBE “In wildness is the preservation of the world.” A cubic cage build of steel wire mesh is set up in the middle of a cultured landscape. It sits there for nature to take over the space within. There is no intervention on the development of the vegetation growing inside it, although any branch that might grows outside the cube will be trimmed. Wildness inside, cultured landscape outside, the cube addresses the ages old issues of culture and nature, and of the taming the wild inside and outside us. |
